When I was 16 years old，I made my first visit to the United States.It wasn’t the first time I had been
abroad.Like most English children，I learned French at school and I had often been to France，so I was
used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn’t understand English.But when I went to America I
was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problems.
How wrong I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport.I was looking for a public telephone to
give my friend Danny a ring and tell her that I had arrived.A friendly old man saw me looking like being
lost and asked if he could help me.
“Yes，” I said.“I want to give my friend a ring.”
“Well，that’s nice，” he said.“Are you getting married? But aren’t you a bit young？”
“Who is talking about marriage？” I replied.“I just want to give my friend a ring to tell her I’ve
arrived.Can you tell me where there’s a phone box？”
“Oh！” he said.“There’s a phone downstairs.”
When at last we did meet up，Danny explained the misunderstanding to me.
“Don’t worry，” she said to me.“I had many difficulties at first.There are lots of words which the
Americans use differently in meaning from us British.You’ll soon get used to all the funny things they
say.But most of the time British and American people can understand each other！”

We spend around one third of our lives in bed，and the body does a lot of its repair work as we
sleep，so enough good quality sleep is very important to our health.It doesn’t stop there，though—some
sleep positions are healthier than others.So which sleep position is the healthiest?
Sleeping on your back is the healthiest sleep position.Health benefits include avoiding back and neck
pain.Because the head is raised above the stomach when you sleep on your back，this position is best for
people who suffer from nighttime acid reflux(胃酸逆流) as well.Around 80% of heartburn(胃灼热)
sufferers have problems during the night，so sleeping on their back could help a lot of people to enjoy a
good night’s sleep.If the sleep position alone is not enough to alleviate the condition，try raising the head
of the bed by up to 4 inches by placing blocks under it.
When you sleep on your back，your face is in a natural position.This means less wrinkles(皱纹).
If you really can’t face sleeping on your back，another healthy sleep position is the side sleep.It’s
almost as good as the back position ， and it’s better for people who snore( 打 鼾 ) and their
partners.Whichever sleep position you choose，use a pillow that supports the head and the neck without

Everyone knows it's necessary to say “thank you” after receiving a gift or others' help，but many
people don't know how to thank people in a proper way.It's best to send a brief，personal note.__16__
Make it personal.Use simple note cards rather than write your name on an amusing card purchased at
the gift shop.__17__ The receiver will appreciate your taking the time to express thanks.
Get to the point right away.Thankyou cards should be short and sweet.Look at the following
example，“Thank you ever so much for the charming vase.I'm sure it will bring my house to life.”
__18__
For some receivers，add some news about your life.__19__ But if you receive a gift in the mail from
people who see you infrequently and who would like to know more about what's going on in your life，
write briefly about what you've been up to recently.
__20__ Write and send it within one week after receiving the gift.Waiting too long to send a note tells
the gift giver you really don't appreciate his/her generosity.
A．Write the note as soon as possible.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂B．This isn't always suitable obviously.
C．Here are some tips on writing a thankyou note.
D．Never type a “thank you”－write it by yourself.

One Sunday morning，George Thomas，a baker in a small New England town，was walking
through the town when he saw a little boy coming toward him，swinging(挥舞) a bird cage in the air.On
the bottom of the cage，there were three little wild birds shaking with cold and fear.George Thomas
stopped the boy and asked him what he got there.
The boy was happy and told him that there were just some old birds in the cage.When the baker asked
him what he would do with the old birds.The boy said casually(漫不经心地) that he wanted to take the
birds home and play with them.He would pull out their feathers to make them fight.He would have a really
good time because he would enjoy watching these.
George Thomas was shocked by what the boy said.How could a boy be so rude to wild animals？So
he continued to ask the boy what he would do to the birds when he got tired of them，because he was such
a naughty and cruel boy that he was sure to be tired of them sooner or later.The boy laughed and said that
he had a cat，which liked birds，so he would give the birds to his cat.The baker got more worried and
decided to help set free the poor birds.So he asked，“How much do you want for the birds，son? ”
The boy looked at him in surprise，wondering if the baker really wanted to buy them.He laughed and
reminded the man that they were just plain old field birds.They didn’t sing and they were not even
pretty.However，the baker insisted and continued to ask him how much money he wanted for the birds.
The boy stared at the baker as if he were crazy and said，“10？”
